There are 2 ways the unit can receive the mileage readings: by GPS and by
Odometer.
GPS

Connect the Helios unit to the computer. In Installer application, go to Helios
parameters > General and change the settings as follows:

Click Send to send the parameters to the unit.
Accumulating data and performing calculations
Drive the car for some distance. The unit will register a certain mileage reading.
Compare the mileage reading in the car to the mileage reading registered by the
unit. If they are the same, the calibration is done.
If the readings are different, enter the correct reading from the car in the
Mileage filed and calculate the fixing factor as follows:
Divide the reading in the car by the reading in the unit. Enter the received
number as percentage in the Fixing Factor field.
